The Solution

A Six-Point System of Complete Protection

Lightning is unpredictable — your protection shouldn't be. Every point works together to capture, convey, and safely ground dangerous voltage before it reaches what you care about.

Capture the Strike

Install lightning air terminals on the structure to capture a strike at a preferred point — including the Preventor ESE terminal with over 50 years of field performance.

Convey It Safely

Down conductor systems route the strike's energy along a known, highly conductive path instead of through your walls, wiring, or plumbing.

Ground the Energy

An effective, well-maintained grounding system discharges the strike deep into the earth — the foundation of the entire system.

Protect Power Lines

Surge filters, line conditioning, and UPS systems stop dangerous transients arriving through incoming electrical service.

Protect Data & Signal Lines

High-speed surge protection and properly earthed cable shields protect phone, internet, TV, and security wiring.

Eliminate Ground Loops

A single grounding system with a low-impedance earth network prevents damaging voltage differences between grounds.

Am I at risk?

One strike can take out everything with a plug

A typical Florida home absorbs hundreds of small transient spikes every day — and a single nearby strike can destroy tens of thousands of dollars in electronics, appliances, and home automation.

Questions

Lightning Questions, Answered

Straight answers from your local lightning experts.

Do I need lightning protection for my home?
Your home is a significant investment, and Florida carries unique lightning risk: the state averages about 100 thunderstorm days a year (California averages 5), and Central Florida receives roughly 40 strikes per square mile annually. Modern homes are full of electronics vulnerable to lightning damage, so protection is a prudent investment — whether installed during construction or added later.
How often does lightning strike?
Over the continental U.S. alone, an average of 20,000,000 cloud-to-ground flashes occur every year. Worldwide, lightning strikes the ground about 100 times each second — 8 million times a day.
Why is Florida called the lightning capital of the US?
Florida's geography creates ideal thunderstorm conditions: warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic combines with intense summer heat to generate sea breezes that push inland and collide over Central Florida. The state experiences thunderstorms on nearly one-third of the days in a year, with some areas seeing up to 50 strikes per square mile annually.
